LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL! – Rifftrax Short: “SHAKE HANDS WITH DANGER”

Narrated by a guy who was rejected from the Dukes of Hazard narrator job for sounding too much like a cotton-pickin’ bumpkin, Shake Hands with Danger explores the terrifying world of construction work. Sponsored by the Caterpillar heavy machinery company, it chronicles the myriad of ways you can hurt, dismember, maim or kill yourself using Caterpillar brand heavy machinery. No action is free from potentially life-ending consequences!

Willie learns a lot from his creepy little friend, primarily about the meaning of loss as Mr. Paperbag crumples and dies before his very eyes! (no, seriously, that happens!)
